Makeup artist makes netizens go crazy with optical illusion clip

Hyderabad: Makeup artist Mimi Choi almost broke the internet when she posted a short clip of her face that appears like a grid of eyes, lips, nose that she painted on. The illusion appears as if there are multiple faces instead of just one.

To pull off the bald look, Mimi wore a bald cap. The makeup artist, who boasts of 1.5 million followers, wrote in the caption that the illusion of painting many faces took her eight hours to create. “I slept 3 times with my bald cap and illusion because I got really dizzy and nauseous from painting the side of my head lol,” wrote Mimi.

The artist, who is based in Vancouver, is well-known for her optical face illusions. In one of her videos featuring the same look, Mimi is seen painting lips on her right eye and she asks her followers, “What’s your favourite step of your makeup routine?” Her video has garnered one million likes so far.
